Question

Write the exponential function.

Answer 1

`f(x) = 10*(b)^x`

Explanation:

exponential function :
`y=a*(b)^x`

where a = y intercept and b = factor ( what you multiply by )

looking at the table the y intercept is at (0,10) so a = 10

so we now have y = 10 * (b)^x

to find the factor we simply plug in one of the ordered pairs.

note that the ordered pair chosen does not effect the outcome

i chose (2,250)

we have y = 10 * (b)^x

(x,y) = (2,250)

250 = 10 * (b)^2

divide both sides by 10

25 = b^2

take the square root of both sides

5 = b

the final equation would be f(x) = 10 * (b)^x
